Description of classes:

Movement / Dance is a physically active class that builds social skills, leadership skills, self-expression and self-esteem. Movement builds flexibility and strength, encourages self-expression and makes the mind more alert. Activities are designed to meet group members at their level of participation in a non-judgmental environment that supports personal expression. We'll practice yoga, and stretching from head to toe to build body awareness and flexibility. We'll engage in interactive movements, like follow the leader, moving throughout the space, building cardiovasular fitness, and mirroring the leader's movements. We'll explore movement using balls, scarves and stretch bands in various group activities.

Art group helps increase focus and interest in art making, encourages the formation friendships, and allows each member to be in the spotlight and share their art work. Art provides a hands on way to give form to our thoughts, feelings, and share creatively how we feel about our world right now. Art affirms who we are and allows us to share that with others. In this group we'll use drawing, painting, collage and sculpture to make individual and group art pieces. In art group there's time to be absorbed in the color and images of your own art, time to visit with others while doing your project, and time in the end, to share your work with the group.
